Overview:

This is a new offering, providing an in-depth examination of C-shell
programming.

This course is designed for advanced SunOS users, SunOS programmers, and
SunOS system administrators.

This course teaches students how to develop customized commands,
read/write administrative scripts, and program the C shell.

The C-Shell is discussed as a programming language.

Extensive hands-on experience includes developing and debugging shell
programs.

The course will primarily discuss the C-Shell, but includes a comparison
of features of both Bourne and C-Shell.

Prerequisites:

* Create programs using the editors vi or textedit.
* Navigate directories using SunOS commands.
* Familiarity with SunOS user interface.     
* Familiarity with programming concepts.

Objectives:

Upon completion of this course, the student should be able to:

* Describe and understand the C-Shell process, including 
  a description  of the .login and .cshrc initialization 
  files. 
* Use SunOS utilities such as grep, awk, sed, tr.
* Use regular expressions to filter and extract 
  data patterns.  
* Define and identify the Shell environment. 
* Define and identify the Shell variables and parameters. 
* Create and debug shell scripts using special 
  commands and procedures. 
* Use C-Shell programming constructs.

Outline:

* Description and basics of the C-Shell 
  (metacharacters, regular expressions, quoting, rules)
* SunOS tools used in C-Shell Programming (grep, awk, sed) 
* Creating Shell programs 
* Passing arguments to C-Shell programs 
* C-Shell variables
* Control structures
